looks like it's not a python2/3 problem

I build  libxml2 and itstool with python2, but got the same (random) segfaults
while building gnome-desktop.

Wrote to the author/maintainer of itstool and this is the reply:

  I'm aware of the issue and I'm looking into it. It's caused by
  memory cleanup I put in in 2.0.4 on some libxml2 objects. It seems I
  got it wrong and things are getting double freed.

  In case you want to follow along, I filed a bug report with my findings
  so far:

So looks like itstool-2.0.4 is broken. I guess a new version will be
released as soon as the problem will get fixed. Meantime, I'm using
itstool-2.0.2, which is fine.
